Andreas Michli, a health and fitness entrepreneur and lifelong Londoner known for his stance against COVID-19 lockdown measures, is running for Mayor of London with a platform focused on public safety, health, transport, housing, environment, and reducing bureaucracy. His campaign, influenced by his background in bodybuilding and business, aims to introduce a new style of politics to London, centered around discipline, entrepreneurship, and a commitment to freedom.

Key Policies and Initiatives:

Operation BRENNAN: A detailed plan to combat violent crime, especially knife crime, in London through targeted police actions, community engagement, and legislative lobbying.

Crime and Policing:

Proposes to raise fitness and legal training standards for police, train officers in martial arts, depoliticize the Met, end recording of non-crime hate incidents, and deprioritize enforcement of minor drug offences.

Public Health:

Suggests subsidized gym memberships, mayor-provided nutrition plans, subsidized women’s sanitary products, promotion of ovulation tests, a campaign promoting safety regarding 5G rollout, and banning unhealthy lifestyle ads.

Transport:

Aims to abolish ULEZ and Congestion Charge, auction off ULEZ infrastructure, automate the tube, and improve cycling and public transport infrastructure.

Housing and Planning:

Plans to update the London Housing Strategy to encourage high-density development, take a nuanced approach to Green Belt development, and ensure aesthetic standards for new buildings.

Environment:

Proposes to abolish net zero targets in favor of an aggressive carbon offset policy, including planting new tree cover and supporting new parks, orchards, and farms.

Other Policies:

Intends to abolish unnecessary bureaucracy, establish a Mayor of London radio channel for direct communication, lobby for transparency in educational materials, produce guidance on free speech, resist infringement of rights by the central government, reduce Council Tax to pre-Khan levels, and pressure the government to adjust the rateable value threshold for SMEs business rates. Michli’s campaign reflects his belief that London’s leaders have failed to address key issues such as crime, public health, and economic growth effectively.

His vision for London includes making the city safe, revitalizing its economic and physical health, ensuring efficient and equitable transport, providing affordable housing, enhancing the environment, and streamlining city governance. Michli's approach is characterized by direct action, leveraging his experience in business and community service, aiming to rekindle pride and optimism among Londoners.
